I have a feeling I’m in the minority in finding Stainer’s music rather uninspiring and dated.
I had to look for “All for Jesus” on YouTube, as I don’t think I’ve ever encountered it in real life. It doesn’t seem to have found its way into many American hymnals, and none of my tribe.
The refrain of Wait for the Lord is intended to be sung as an ostinato with the verses sung over it by a cantor or cantors. It doesned a little preparation.
Quite so, which was a commodity What We Did Not Have.
As it was the first Sunday of the month, we had Evensong:
Usual chants to the Mag & Nunc (Robinson & Farrant)
Psalm 18 -chant by John Goss
Hymns: Lord of our life - Cloisters Through all the changing scenes of life - Wiltshire The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended - St Clement
It was rather nice, despite my being asked at the last minute to read the lessons (wouldn't I just get one with some silly OT names in it?).

It's not awful, but it's of a particular era.
They didn't (and the same applied to I the Lord of sea and sky ).
